I have Greddy 720's (base FP 43psi). It idles fine from 500rpm, ~30kpa and up with an AEM EMS. Previously I had no idle issues using the stock TCCS, VPC, and AFC combo with up to 50psi base FP.

Doubt the gauge first. Swap the sender for a known good one or connect a mechanical gauge. The old saying your Dad spoke of pertains mainly to the rings - the increased vacuum from a rebuilt head will supposedly allow for more vacuum and suck oil past the old worn rings.

I like it, but I would have looked in to shorter rear shocks and moving/changing the mounting points. I'd be you could come close to the original bed height.

I've had similar problems. My car will boil the coolant without the rad cap on - no pressure increase to raise the boiling point. Second problem is you likely did not get all of the air out especially w/out the heater core circulating. You can open the valve by hand and use a zip tie to...

Posting about picking on an n/a with a turbo = fail. It's much more fun seeing the look on an unsuspecting bpu'd TT owner's and passenger's faces when the mk3 in front walks away from them. They gave up trying to pass after 4-5 attempts.

In a true wasted spark configuration the coil is designed to be charged and dumped once per revolution. A coil for a 4 cycle engine, coil on plug configuration, is designed to be charged and dumped once per cycle (two revolutions), integrated igniter or not. This coil has one path to ground...

I think you guys have the theory right but the application wrong. Wasted spark works when you have one coil firing two plugs/cylinders due to several factors. A) There are two paths (plugs) for energy from the coil to follow to ground B) Energy will follow the path of least resistance C) the...

Gotta love race gas, but my wallet loves E85 much more. So do my lungs.

ebay doesn't make fuel pumps...

What is the availability of E85 in Louisville/Lexington/Covington KY?

If you call HP (Compaq) they will usually charge you a nominal fee for the recovery cd set. Assuming you have a valid license (sticker on bottom of machine) all you need is any OEM version of the Windows XP cd (or hack setup.ini to accept an OEM key), including one from another HP/Compaq, etc...

Not to mention only three connections are needed (rx/tx + shield) so you can be a little creative with the connector, possibly going so far as to include a usb/rs232 adapter over to a hidden usb connector.

Every year I say I'm tempted to go for one day. Uhm, yeah, I'm tempted to go for one day. I need to get an amp in the car first. I totally destroyed the factory amp over 2 years ago and haven't been on a drive longer than about an hour since.

Whatever you do don't buy "Cold Heat".

Looks like the typical generic 25W soldering iron / hot knife / leather burner. They suck. You're better off with a butane torch/iron, but even those suck. I'd avoid that Stahl too. I'm local to PE and I know I've picked it up once or twice over 10 or more years and remember thinking it was...

W25 and W60 with a selection of tips. Temp controlled but not the station model with the dial. I used to assemble and test circuit boards and sources for x-ray gauges used in the US and Asian steel industries. Nice scope. I have an old HP too. To the OP, my guess is you have the type with...

You'd be surprised what an Ohio winter can do. ;-) Crisp, you can usually get a caliper, caliper w/bracket, or loaded caliper which also includes pads. Since you have pads you could get the cheapest rotors and decent yet cost effective caliper w/bracket to get you by. Inspect remans well...

The AEM EMS does not use the cold start injector so you are ok with removing it. It does control the factory idle stepper, and with a little bit of effort can be made to work very well. Removing it and using the throttle stop as an idle stop is a bad idea and huge step backwards. You might as...
